prati-vará¹£a - every year; nÄ«lÄcale - to JagannÄtha PurÄ«; tumi - You; nÄ ÄsibÄ - do not come; gauá¸e rahi' - staying in Bengal; mora icchÄ - My desire; sa-phala karibÄ - make successful.
“Do not come to JagannÄtha PurÄ« every year, but stay in Bengal and fulfill My desire.â€
The mission of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu is to spread the only medicine effective in this fallen Age of Kali — the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra. Following the orders of His mother, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu was residing at JagannÄtha PurÄ«, and the devotees were coming to see Him. However, the Lord felt that this message must be spread very elaborately in Bengal, and in His absence there was not a second person capable of doing it. Consequently the Lord requested NityÄnanda Prabhu to stay there and broadcast the message of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The Lord also entrusted a similar preaching responsibility to RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« and SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«. NityÄnanda Prabhu was requested not to come every year to JagannÄtha PurÄ«, although seeing Lord JagannÄtha greatly benefits everyone. Does this mean that the Lord was refusing NityÄnanda Prabhu a fortunate opportunity? No. One who is a faithful servant of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu must execute His order, even if one has to sacrifice going to JagannÄtha PurÄ« to see Lord JagannÄtha there. In other words, it is a greater fortune to carry out ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s order than to satisfy one’s senses by seeing Lord JagannÄtha.
Preaching Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s cult throughout the world is more important than staying in Vá¹›ndÄvana or JagannÄtha PurÄ« for one’s own personal satisfaction. Spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness is ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s mission; therefore His sincere devotees must carry out His desire.
pá¹›thivÄ«te Äche yata nagarÄdi grÄma
sarvatra pracÄra haibe mora nÄma
The devotees of Lord Caitanya must preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness in every village and town in the world. That will satisfy the Lord. It is not that one should act whimsically for his own personal satisfaction. This order comes down through the paramparÄ system, and the spiritual master presents these orders to the disciple so that he can spread the message of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. It is the duty of every disciple to carry out the order of the bona fide spiritual master and spread Lord Caitanya’s message all over the world.
